Watched Badlands (1973)

It ruled. Kept putting it off, thinking it couldn't live up to its reputation. But it does.

I need to give this one a watch. Terrence Malick is very hit or miss with me

Days of Heaven also slaps if you dont mind the kid voice over.

One of the greatest American films imo.

You're probably right. It's also one of the rare movies where I respect the acting. The two leads seem irreplaceable.

My only complaint is Warren Oates isn't in the movie long enough. Love that fawkin guy.

Martin Sheen starred in this and Apocalypse Now, legend.

His kids gave us The Mighty Ducks and Men at Work.

Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez are also in it as kids playing near the lamp post. Also Platoon had Charlie so hush now, child.

It was pretty good. Kind of a cross between Fargo and In Cold Blood (1967). I think what made it work was that it was a very simple story. Kind of a weird vibe to it...

Is Badlands anything like The Thin Red Line? Because that one makes me weep and smile like a child. Never really got over Nick Stahl’s character dying, poor lad.

Extremely funny to me as well how Adrien Brody got the shaft without knowing. Always a right laugh when smug entitled thesps get their comeuppance and have to realise making a film is a team effort, Terry was a real one for that.

Besides a confused George Clooney for thirty seconds, there wasn’t a poor performance in the final edit, so evidently TM made the right calls.
